Long Time, No Post

Its been much too long since the last time I wrote. My apologies. I'll try to update more regularly. My goal is to write every day, but needless to say, we've seen that get a little difficult. Life itself is extracurricular right now. Today is my day off from one of my jobs, and I don't work until this evening, so since I was up so early today, (doctor's appointment) I'm somewhat at a loss of what to do right now. I usually wake up around this time if I closed the night before. Sad part is, I only got three hours of sleep last night.

Somehow, though, I'm in a wonderful mood. I despise getting up early, and I woke up at 7. Doctor's offices irritate me, and I left there in the same high spirits as when I walked in. Its a welcome change. I've been in a rotten mood for the past week. Who knew today would be so great, so much for the rainy day theories!

I guess you could blame my good mood on the fact that some of my family from NV just moved down to live with us. Its like "Cheaper By The Dozen" in here; 4 parents, me (being that awkward stage between teen and adult), 3 teenagers, 1 preteen, and 2 adorable little kiddies =) Add 3 Labs, 2 Chiweenies (heh heh heh) and one hamster to the mix, and you've got a full house. Its so wonderful though. Being around family just makes me so happy.

Spiritually, I'm in a bit of a desert. I'm desperate for God's guidance and fire, but for some reason, I just feel dry inside. I know firsthand from times before, that God does this to draw me closer to Him, but sometimes I just wish it could be like this holy shockwave. In times like this, I feel that God simply wants me to seek Him not because I have to or because I'm scared or hurting, but just simply because I want to out of love and desire for him.

I am, however, in complete awe of how God takes incidents and heartbreaks in my life, and uses what he has taught me through them to help those around me. If you have been a follower of this blog since June, you know my story pertaining to me and my ex, why I left, what God has taught me through it, etc. Two months later, almost to the day, a friend of mine confided in me about a relationship that she was in, and she felt like it was falling apart. She told me her story, and, almost to a tee, it is exactly like mine. I was able to give her advice that I knew for sure and for certain would be best for her, and I was able to give her hope in her situation, because hey, I survived it =)

So that's what God is doing in my life right now. Sorry for the length between updates, I promise to be more diligent =)
